What engine is this??

I’ve got a 1990 defender 90 I know it’s had an engine swap but I cannot seem to find what engine it is? Is it a 200tdi? 300tdi


Please please can people help so I can get an service kit ordered.


TIA.

300 tdi

are you 100% not saying you don’t know your knowledge. But just double checking before I order the kit

To be more specific it's a left hand drive 300 tdi

I haven't seen one with the cylinder head temp gauge on top like that before

Welcome first .

I have absolutely no idea.
But look here https://www.steveparkers.com/conver...nd-rover-90-110-4-cylinder-with-lt77-gearbox/

I think you will find that the 200tdi doesn't have the upper tensioner from pics I have seen.

Order service parts from the engine number? sure some of the well know sites do that.

As I said I dont know these engines.
But also seems to be a funny cover plate on the timing cover. Looks adjustable, for the injection pump??

Saw that then realised it has the edc pump fitted.

on my
D1 that cover plate is the slide used for the aircon belt tensioner
and I have removed that on occasion to access the 3 bolts holding the timing belt pulley to advance or retard the injector pump timing while experimenting

A dirty one

You can double check by looking at the exhaust manifold, 200tdi exits rearwards at an angle, 300tdi exhaust pipe goes straight down from the manifold

Looks like a 300tdi in a 200tdi engine bay.

Thats the EGR connection.

The serpentine fan belt is another give away. 200tdi uses a v belt, 300tdi uses a serpentine.

This is my7 1997 Defender 300 tdi engine



It's origional, and I'm building a new cylinder head for it as the gaskets gone on cyl no 3. I've poeted and polished it and modified the valves to to improve flow and efficiency. But yours looks like a 300tdi, the disco has some ancillary differances but yours looks like a 300 to me, also because you have a serpentine belt, and I thought 200 has V belts. Although the airbox is different, so maybe your engine was changed

Looks like a 19j [ most likely] or 200tdi air box that has been adapted and fitted more or less in the usual 200tdi position.
